Lumia: Opus 147A light box by Thomas Wilfred, the pioneering light artist who worked through much of the 20th century. Opus 147 is an example of Wilfred’s late period, where he took his designs and knowledge gleaned from decades of experiment and practice and created “Recorded Lumia Compositions,” physical lighting instruments where the work was recorded in mechanical objects for presentation in homes and museums. From the collection of A.J. Epstein.
